WE Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Intense black fruits and a firm structure give this complex wine an eye-opening sense of concentration and grip. Decant and drink now if you must but time will improve this full-bodied, generously oaked powerhouse. Best from 2027–2034.
WS The Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Ripe, juicy and focused, with a core of griotte notes wrapped in licorice and fruitcake, all backed by black tea and sous-bois hints through the finish. On the toasty side, but the fruit keeps the upper hand and there's good energy from start to finish.
W&S Wine & Spirits: 90 Points
This is a big wine for a braise, a supple pinot noir with wood spice that lingers along with sweet-ripened fruit. The fruit ranges from red apple to prunes, mostly in the blue and black end of the spectrum, overall pleasant and not pushed.
